I have never pulled the trigger so fast on a Pam

...But this 911 gave me no reason to think twice. I have owned a handful of other Pams in the past (all gone for various reasons). Out of those that I parted ways with, the Pam 111 (G-serial), has been the one that I always regretted trading in. However, I firmly believe that this 911 will help cope with this issue. As Dan, from DavidSW, commented the Pam 911 it's a Pam 111 on Steroids. Extensive reviews have been done on this model, and I tend to agree with most of them!

Again, Dan and David at DavidSW were very accommodating, and made the transaction flawless. I happen to live about an hour from their boutique, so it is always very entertaining to visit them. They are incredibly knowledgeable on all brands they carry, and willing to answer any question/concern you have.

...and now, onto the pics (apologies for the resolution)

Thank you for looking!

Very beautiful, love the green dial. I have heard nothing but good things about DavidSW. Lovely choice, and I am can understand why it didn't take long to decide on it.
Cheers,
Carl

Thank you so much! Indeed, living so close to DavidSW is pretty inconvenient for my bank account; but how can one resist that kind of candy store!

Actually, there was a thread on my GMT...apologies in advance since we are in the Panerai Forum...in my opinion that piece is in a league of its own...it was a barn find, and had fully serviced about a year ago by WatchMakers International in TX...Phillip is a tremendous guy!

I got them as a freebie from Dan, at DavidSW. It is Canvas, and the maker is Gunny, KE 17...really comfortable.

I couldn't agree more on your selection of straps for this beauty...I also got the green oem fabric strap...simply seems fitting for it.

As my only Panerai in the collection, I was fortunate to acquire the 911 at my AD, who made a special request to the East coast Panerai rep.

I’m usually a Rolex/bracelet person but having a fun time researching different strap options for my PAM, which can be an expensive hobby in itself. LOL

Wear your 911 in good health and best in 2019
